I don't have detailed knowledge of their entire catalogue (for which I'm grateful), but they have always been on the unacceptable mallcore or metalcore end of the spectrum. They have been brought up many times before and apparently there is a progression towards are more metallic sound noticeable (or at least from alt rock/nu-metal to a more 00's -core craze-based sound) when you compare their earlier stuff and the recent album(s), but it was deemed not enough for inclusion.

@Mentantione- I wasn't about to search 159 pages for something that might not even be covered.

Well, first of all, we need more pics than that tape. Some pictures in which the tape and case are clearly seen. Also, if you click on the "Releases" tab on the label's site, there are images and release dates of all their releases. Both Upacara and Hellkvlt Mexica have October 9th as release date. Wait until then to resubmit, along with pictures galore. Also, please, LEGIT pictures only.

The best pickup line will always be, "Hey, my dick died... can I bury it in your ass?"

what genre would you call Slipknot's Iowa? I would understand their blacklisting if not for this album. sorry if this specific topic has been discussed, I couldn't find it. I'm not going to try to concince anyone of anything, just curious of people's reasoning.

Hi, I wanted to ask why Since the Day and Versus the Throne were rejected or if the ban of both of them could maybe be lifted.

Both play metalcore, but with a huge melodic death metal influence. Since the Day also were a side project of members of several bands that are in the Metal Archives, such as Friedrich Weber (Deadsoil, Arms to Amen), Andreas Schüssler (Deadsoil, Reincarnated) and Daniel Dietelbach (Absidia). Since the Day's sound doesn't differ much from that of these bands, they basically sound like melodic death metal with breakdowns, such as that of Absidia, Six Reasons to Kill etc. And they have metal guitar solos.

Versus the Throne had an even bigger metal influence in their sound. I don't even understand why they were banned in the first place, maybe because their old sound under their old name (Blood Spencer) was a lot more hardcore than their first album "Ruins Afire".

Again, this is not the best example concerning the song (there are only a few live videos available on YouTube), but from 1:30 on, there is a classic melodic death metal riff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=conV3cai1X0

I also wanted to ask why Signal the Firing Squad are banned. Sure, they qualify as deathcore, but the hardcore elements in their sound are really sparse, mostly it's technical / brutal death metal with some breakdowns. Many bands that are actually in the Metal Archives (Thy Art Is Murder, Boris the Blade, Resist the Thought, Whitechapel, blablabla) play the same style, yet Signal the Firing Squad are banned.

This is simply technical/brutal death metal with some breakdowns thrown in. And I honestly believe that everybody who doesn't hear that never gave them a chance in the first place, sorry. Please don't ban me.

We need more proofs for the band from the country like Syria. Either respectable label/distro selling it or detailed photos of the CD. Also, 50 dollars for CD and 60 dollars for shipping?? I hope it's not US dollars, or the guy simply has no idea what he's talking about.

Sorry, can't really say this is convincing at all. Why would anyone pay 60 dollars for shipping and 50 for the cd??? Also, when I looked at the band's facebook profile, I didn't see this conversation nor any evidence that a cd has been made.

Didn't submit them because they probably will be rejected, just asking.

Without listening to those songs I can tell you this: Submit it and you will see. As I have explained before, this thread isn't for asking whether a band would get accepted, it's for inquiring about previously rejected/deleted/blacklisted stuff. If you think a band might have a place here, gather the necessary info/proof and submit them. That's what the queue is for. If you're not sure yourself, best not to submit it.

I was looking for 'The Atomic Bitchwax' on Metal-archives but to no avail, and when I tried submitting it, it appears as blacklisted. Why is that, though? At least their first release (Atomic Bitchwax I) sounds pretty Stoner metal to me. If I'm not right, could you guys at least tell me why it was rejected? It's not really a favorite band or anything, but now I'm just curious.
